and rovers fans have never slated fc fans on the same site either have they when the small number of fc idiots cause trouble?

bit of a blinkered post imo

Thanks for the good comments re our fans, much appreciated. Couldn't make the game unfortunately (was at a birthday party), but it's great to see the mutual respect both clubs have.

All the best for the rest of the season, will be cheering you on in the final if you get there, you deserve to and have been the best SL team this season.

The best comment on there was from a Hull fan saying how funny it was to 'hear Wigan fans chanting we can see you sneaking out to the Rovers fans, who left in droves'... priceless.
Completely the opposite.

As many Rovers fans have already posted, it's great to see you guys don't tar us all with the brush, and all I can say in our suporters defence is that when the items were thrown the vast majority of fans in that stand were genuinly angry and made their feelings quite clear towards the general area they came from. Unfortunately if your watching the game you can't tell who actually did it unless sat right near them, hopefully if, as Ian Smith has said they are on CCTV threy will be identified and dealt with appropriately.
As for Sam Tomkins alleged gestures towards the Rovers fans, as someone posted on Rovers site, had Clint Newton done it to the East stand at the KC last week we'd all have been having a right good laugh about it. I have to confess I wasn't too sure about Sam, but seeing him on Super League Supermen confessing to being caught by his mates Mum wearing her underwear he went right up in my estimation.


Good Luck to you for the rest of the season.

Sam always winds up the North Stand, even when it's empty.

I bet that really riles the Huddersfield support!

Thats an interesting view. What has he done or said that comes across as arrogant? When interviewed he actually comes across as the opposite to arrogant i.e. quite humble. Just because he is a good player doesn't make him arrogant. He is actually quite a level headed lad.

Anyone throwing an object onto the pitch at a rugby game is a numbty and needs to be expelled. I would say exactly the same if the person was a Wigan supporter! I was also appalled at the female in the North stand (caught on TV) who was gesticulating V signs towards the East stand. What is all that about? Quite unnecessary. It was fantastic to see so many genuine HKR fans turn out and produce a big shout for their team. Why some need to spoil things is beyond me. Lets stand together as RL supporters to cut out this uneccessary behaviour by the minority.

Your fans should probably strive not to live up to their deserved reputation then.

Yesterday i said there were 3 posters i couldn't stand, i stand corrected as i forgot about you.

I think I may just put that in my sig. Scummy town, scummy team.

Grow up!!

It's nothing to do with the fact that he's a good player,It's what he clearly called the Rovers fans,
"f*cking scum" near the end of the game,
Thing is he was in earshot of lots of young kids sat at the front,and should have been more professional as he is a role model to young kids,

You did well to hear this over the noise of the 11,132 other people in the ground.

Or did you not actually hear it yourself, like most of those repeating this allegation?

Yes I did hear him say it,hand on heart,we were right at the front.
And I know he's only a young lad himself,but he has got to remember that young kids do look upto him,especially as an England player too.

Shut up, Phil.

This cannot be true can it?
Speak to Cas fans and others and they will tell you that we burn babies and kneecap old ladies for fun on matchdays.
Thankyou to the wigan fans for the kind words.

Really not making excuses for him here, but he is still only a kid himself.
Wayne Rooney, anyone??
Sams rise to prominance has been nothing short of meteoric, and it's gonna take a while before he learns his place as a 'role-model'.
I'm sure the backroom mentors are working on it as we speak though.
Anyway, few idiots apart - Massive respect to the HKR fans.
Best bunch we've had at the JJB for ages.

No..Grow up.

Fair enough if you did - still amazed you could hear anything, your lot were making such a bloody racket all night!

Either way, you're right he's still a young lad and he was probably just annoyed at being the target of objects from the crowd (and plenty of abuse, but I think he's getting used to that!). Can't blame him for expressing his feelings but I take your point.

I'm sure he'd be the first to admit anything he said was aimed at the very small minority and not the majority of superb fans you brought.

Getting a bit cosy, this Wigan-KR love in...

Forgive me for asking...but why were you sniffing a bog brush to start with and what did you hope to gain from doing so?

Heat of the moment

Hull KR fans (yes only a section but still) shouting WANK3R WANK3R WANK3R at him.

Trying to hit him with coins, lighter etc

Im sure next time he might turn round and ask if anyone wants a cuppa anyway.

I'm not defending him if this is true but I would like to point out that the Wigan players were having things thrown at them and the 'scum' comment, if true was, in all probability, aimed at those responsible. If that was the case I find it hard to disagree to be honest and is no different than what fans from both Wigan and HKR are saying about those responsible. You could argue that he is a professional sportsman and should rise above it and, whilst I'm inclined to agree if the provocation is banter, I don't think the same argument applies to when you're the target for missiles! I have to say that I, like most on here, really like the HKR fans as I've said previously and that hasn't changed because of these incidents. All fans have their share of idiots to deal with. However, if you're asking if I think people who throw things are 'scum' then I'm afraid the answer is a resounding "yes!"
